The Photon Raiders was formed in March of 2005 by =TPR=Arma as a Star Wars Battlefront clan and since then we have gone from strength to strength, expanding into Eve Online and CoD4.
Going from a disorganized bunch of noobs to a clan with regular, fully organized tournaments, battles and in-clan ladders, from depending on a member to host a server (affectionately known as the Dutch connection) to having our own ranked dedicated servers and Ventrilo server, and from getting slaughtered in every clan battle to being an increasing threat, even to some of the best clans out there. For us the only way is forward.
Early on we decided that we didn’t want to be the highest ranked clan. We just wanted to do things for the pure fun of it and have a laugh together. So if you have a sense of humor and for you, the only way is forward, maybe TPR is for you. If not, then we hope that you enjoy the site.

Get ready FOR BF:BC2
Get ready FOR BF:BC2.. A week to go till beta, and just over a month till full release...
Hot off the heels of Left 4 Dead 2, it seems as if another boycott is looming on the horizon, and unlike the last one, this is a bit more justified. Following evil Activision's decision to raise the price of Modern Warfare 2 to £54.99 in the UK, angered British gamers are venting spleen and sharing one common sentiment -- that they will not bend over and let Bobby Kotick's gold-plated [censored] shaft them with the fury of a thousand Suns.
Backlash over the price hike is being felt across the Internet. Just recently, TotalGamingNetwork found that 68% of its PC using readership has decided not to support the publisher, and our very own Destructoid forums have seen their own movement against Modern Warfare 2. Talk from online British gamers is bitter wherever you look, and it's hardly surprising.
However, in a manner similar to the L4D2 controversy, it's highly doubtful that any official boycott will make a significant impact on MW2's sales. One would assume that Activision has anticipated resentment from fans, and yet believes that the price hike will recoup any potential lost sales, meaning that no harm will be felt.
Frankly, what Activision is doing is disgusting, and I really hope that MW2 meets with as little success as possible in the United Kingdom. However, no boycott will ever decide the game's fate. It's in the hands of the mainstream gaming audience, and I really do have little faith in those guys.
To Celebrate =TPR='s return into hosting quality Star Wars Battlefront servers. The downloads section has had a few blast's from the past items uploaded.
These Include =TPR= Custom Map pack for use on our Custom Map server, old favorite standalone maps. Some useful Tools and the old favourites, our =TPR= Desktop Backgrounds.
Over the next few days we will be working on the final setup of the =TPR= Servers, so please bear with us.
Our vent is currently down, along with everyobne else that uses the same company..
Here is a copy of their web page, looks like they had major probs yesterday..
"Update 3/30/2009 @ 8:00 PM CST Good evening,
We hope your day has gone better than ours. We realize there are major problems at the moment with a handful of Ventrilo systems, as well as the obvious absence of our main website and systems. We are resolving them as quickly as we possibly can, and have all of our staff working overtime until that happens. We are still here. We are not going out of business. We did not all move to Sealand. If you require assistance, your best bet will be #DarkStarLLC on the gamesurge.net IRC network until our systems are restored. Please understand that our staff are extremely overwhelmed right now as a result of today's problems and may be very slow to respond - we are still here and we definitely care about getting your service restored.
Thank you for your patience.
Also, for those of you browsing the World of Warcraft forums, please recognize that zomghealz is indeed a staff member of ours. We're doing our best to get you guys back online ASAP!
There one already which can fix the server browser and friends list. Go into your BF:BC2 folder and run the program BC2Betaupdater.exe (or something similar) BUT you have to run it as administrator or nothing happens
read some google stuff - you have to press Q when pointing at players or objects to get ammo, health, repairs etc. Seems to stilt the gameplay somewhat, having to look round for these things when they used to come to you...
